Saw a trailer for the movie last night at the cinema, seems this has been re-titled in the UK as "Le Mans '66".
Historical inaccuracies or not, it looks to be entertaining. |

There were a few bits in "Rush" where I rolled my eyes. Like doubling Brands Hatch for Fiorano. They just hung a few Ferrari and Agip sponsors on the fence at Clearways. Of course only a real fan would recognise these things and lets face it, these films are rarely pitched at the "real fans".

Originally the film was going to be based on the book " Go like hell " .
Which were John Wyer , s words to Stirling Moss at the 59 Le Mans , where Stirling drove flat out to make the Ferrari,s chase him & hopefully cause them to not last the race . This tactic worked & allowed the second Aston Martin team car of Roy Salvadori & Carroll Shelby to win . We had the film producers contact us about possibly borrowing some cars for filming the 59 race scenes . But that fell through , possibly because for the Hollywood backers & American directors wanted the story just to be about Americans . So they seem to have invented a story where an American car maker got an American car racer to design & build an all American car to go & beat Ferrari at Le Mans |

This film was completed before Disney bought 20th Century Fox, FWIW. Quote:

From the reviews I've seen it seems the movie is as much about the men fighting the bureaucracy inside Ford as it is America vs the world. They've had real racers involved, Darren Law, Jeff Bucknum, etc. Let's give it a chance. It might be crap, but it might be good |
